The only Fan Club items I'm aware of are the Star Destroyer/Darth Vader set, Millennium Falcon/Han Solo set, and the Action Fleet Dagobah X-wing. I don't believe the Balance Of Power was a Fan Club exclusive because the Certificate Of Authenticity states that it was "available exclusively through Lewis Galoob Toys". Other oddities I've come across were the "Gold Classic Series" which were advertised with the Balance Of Power set, which makes me think they came through the same distribution channels, but they were a touch more expensive.

Regarding the "Gold Classic Series", I'm fortunate enough to have two of the three sets. The F.A.O exclusive shuttle was a gift and the Falcon/Vader Tie I won in a contest on the old Galoob forums. An interesting note on this: even though the shuttle is listed in many places as an F.A.O. exclusive, I distinctly remember it being on display and for sale at our local Service Merchandise department store back in the day.

66091: Micro Machines "The Balance of Power": X-wing and TIE joined together by "laser fire". Includes Death Star display stand and Certificate of Authenticity. The X-wing's nose balances on the transparent upright of the stand, allowing the vessels to spin and rock in simulated combat motion at the touch of a finger. Only 10,000 produced. $19.99 each. 1996-11

Wow... didn't know the gold gift sets originally sold for $100... I've seen them on eBay for much less than that. They're all the same moulds as the X-ray Fleet and the JC Penney set, from what I've seen. Kinda cool...

I read that some of the Action Fleet Alpha sets were fan club exclusives. The Alpha Droid Fighter, Alpha Naboo Starfighter, and possibly a few others were exclusives, but they too found their way onto store shelves, apparently.

I guess Galoob never looked up the word "exclusive".

McCoy: What do those super sensitive ears make of that, Mr. Spock?
Spock: Wood. Rubbing on some kind of leather.
